I have data in columns for which I need to make 3 different comparisons.
I. Exact data comparison in a specific cell of Column C with all cell contents of Column G.
A. If a "match" is found, I need to move cell contents from 2 different rows to another sheet: Sheet 2
1) Cell C2 contains the data: 1S394A0
a) I need to compare this "exact" data with all the cell contents in Column G
b) An "exact" match is found in cell G22: 1S394A0
2) Move A2, B2, C2, D2, F22, G22, H22 to the same row on Sheet 2
B. For clarification, I have manually made these entries on Sheet 2
The following request may have to do with truncating leading digits/letters
II. Inexact data comparison in a specific cell of Column C with all cell contents in Column G.
A. If a "match" is found of "inexact" data, I need to move cell contents from 2 different rows to another sheet: Sheet 2
1) Cell C9 contains the data: S0001
a) I need to compare the contents of this cell with all the cell contents in Column G
b) An "inexact" match is found in cell G1: 1S0001
c) The leading digit "1" is all that keeps this from being an "exact" match.
d) As long as the 5 digit data in C9 matches any part of the 5 digit data in the cells of Column G,
I would consider that a "match"
2) Move A9, B9, C9, D9, F1, G1, H1 to the same row on Sheet 2
B. For clarification, I have manually made these entries on Sheet 2
III. Data comparison in a specific cell of Column C with all cell contents in Column G results in "no match"
A. If "no match" is found of data, I need to move cell contents from 1 row to another sheet 2
1) Cell C8 contains the data: NRL
a) I need to compare the contents of this cell with all the cell contents in Column G
b) There is no exact ( I ) match and there is no inexact ( II ) match
2) Move A8, B8, C8, D8 to the same row on sheet 2
a) The resulting rows of data containing no matches need to be grouped together, if possible
B. For clarification, I have manually made these entries on Sheet 2
I'm a novice with "IF" statements in Excel, but this is beyond my level of expertise.
I've just inherited this mess from my department head(s) and must clean up tens of thousands of similar entries as presented in this workbook.
